If I speak in the languages of humans and angels but have no love, I have become a reverberating gong or a clashing cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing. Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself, but have no love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

What is Relativism?
Relativism is perhaps the easiest of all positions to refute. When someone states that all truth is relative or that there are no absolute truths, then it is a simple matter of demonstrating the illogic of their position. These short replies to their statements are just what you need. Following are some statements made by those in relativism. read on

Why some Jews don't believe In Jesus? by Rabbi Shraga Simmons

Is Jesus the only way to heaven?
Well, it boils down to a matter of choice, your choice. These days we talk a lot about choice. We discuss all types of choices: abortion, premarital relations, school choice, lifestyle, vocation, etc., etc. In America, the land of freedom, we may choose anything we wish. Some choices are good, some bad. Some choices are legal. Some are illegal read on
If God is sovereign, why do anything?
God's sovereignty, as I am convinced the Bible teaches it, means that God has fore-ordained everything that happens. Before creation, God planned and decided ("ordained") the entire course of human history down to the smallest details. All circumstances in time are therefore the outworking of God's plan which He decreed in eternity read on
Why is Apologetics necessary? by H. Hanegraaff
“Why do apologetics? Isn’t just having faith enough?” This response is typical of many Christians who believe apologetics is simply unnecessary. What is the purpose of apologetics? read on
Celebrating Christmas?
There is no Biblical warrant, precedent, nor precept for remembrance of the day of Christ's birth as a day of special religious celebration. This is not to say that we shouldn't remember Christ's birth and its significance, but for religious commemorations or celebrations, we must have Biblical command or precedent! read on
What is a Christian?
Webster’s Dictionary defines a Christian as “a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teaching of Jesus.” While this is a good starting point in understanding what a Christian is, like many secular definitions, it falls somewhat short of really communicating the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian. read on
Is Salvation by grace through faith?
The work of Jesus Christ as Savior is the prominent theme in the Bible. He is the promised seed of woman who will conquer Satan (Gen. 3:15). He is the promised Servant of Yahweh who would bear the sins of the whole world (Isa. 53:4-6; Jn. 1:24). As the Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross and suffered the judgment of the sin of the whole world (I Cor. 15:3-4; II Cor. 5:19-21; I Pet. 1:18-19; I Jn. 2:2; Rev. 1:5) read on
Why does God allow innocent people to suffer?
This is one of the most difficult questions for Christians to answer. The "problem of pain," as the well-known Christian scholar, C.S. Lewis, once called it, is atheism's most potent weapon against the Christian faith read on

Commentary
(of Sovereign Grace Community Church) People have many beliefs. Some beliefs are very important;
others aren't so important. What I believe about family
and the raising of children is a very important belief. What I
believe about which food to eat best is quite as significant.
If you have begun reading this paper, you
probably feel that your beliefs about God are at least of some
importance. We invite you to read on! ...read on
Jesus, Who is He? Jesus Christ - A Name Unlike Any Other
The name, Jesus Christ, has caused
more division, agitation and controversy than any other name in history. If you
bring up God in a coffee shop discussion, nobody is really offended. If you
speak about Buddha or Brahman, Moses or Mohammed, you really don't irritate the
listener. However, the name Jesus Christ seems to cut right to the soul.
Something makes this religious leader more contentious and convicting than all
the others combined. What is it? ...But
sanctify the Lord God
in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to
everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with
meekness and fear
Does it
really matter what we believe?
Unlike any other widely followed
religious leader in history, Jesus Christ made a unique claim. He declared
Himself God. Not a god, not god-like, but God incarnate - the Creator of the
universe in human flesh. Intellectually, that's disturbing. Spiritually, that's
the most liberating thing that could ever happen to humankind.
